I don't know.

I feel like is it too soon to come up with the collective noun for everyone that's watching this?

Regardless, I felt like today I was gonna run me through my exercise routine because even though I don't look like it, sometimes I work out.

And definitely when I lived in New York, I always came to see Mary Helen Bowers, owner of Ballet Beautiful.

And she made sure that I looked elegant, poised.

So we're gonna go on a journey together.

However, first you gotta get that for me.

Beautiful is on the fifth floor of a five floor walkup, which I like to think is actually exercise.

This is, by the way, know what I always enjoy doing when I hang over?

Still not that eyes are burning this to see Michael coming on at Look at the way, Mary Helen.

One of the things that first attracted me to come in here doing belly with you was how beautiful you look in ballet gear on the fact that when I was like five years old, I wanted to be a ballerina.

So I think valet outfits actually very important for me.

That's, like 50% of what I like about six minimum.

I'm sorry.

50 50%.

So can you help me pick a look for today's close?

Yes.

So, what do you think?

Do you want to go with the traditional Alexa?

Look.

Well, to me, that's the camera fall, Okay?

Don't you have your cutoff shorts here?

We waited the river, the shoes slung around the neck, right Does their legs.

There's been various inclinations of my ballet look.

And also because I used to walk here and then walk out of the class.

I used to put your ballet slippers down my neck so that I could show dudes on the street that I was, in fact a ballerina.

So if you ever actually seen a picture of me, and this is very vain if you've never actually seen a picture of me walking around Manhattan, I think we'll find that I'm wearing ballet slippers.

I'd appreciate it if not what type?

You're only trying to pick up babes.

I'm just with the with the cut offs came from Bali.

Takami?

Yeah.

Just what lips My exercise.

Good, cause I can lift my leg high except like home.

It's all the policy.

This is the sport of your style.

So we have sort of classic ballerinas.

Silhouettes The commis call.

This one looks great on you.

This that this is the pen front.

It has the princess Seems the classic scenes that run down the bus.

This has the low back.

So you know you can You can add a broth you want to Most answers.

Don't.

It's usually pretty bear.

You see, you were overly over.

This'd is the sign of the professional vs when your child or in like the ballet academy you have to wear even on stage.

You have to wear your tights under underneath your 22 underneath your leotard.

And then you would wear a belt for a skirt or, you know your costume on top.

But why don't you wear them?

Because this is just how you do it when you're rehearsing.

Not sure why, but that's how it's done.

Okay, I won't like it.

Yes, this this weekend achieve and this is the classic ballet tight right to the scene runs as we so from the the toe all the way up to the waist.

So it goes all the way out.

Maybe I want no bombs.

So it's just that we continue to what?

There's so many different things.

Juice from I felt like there could be a montage.

Women here wait first.

This is the looked.

When can you help me with my shoes on?

Because often when I post real classes, I get a lot of cross ballerinas on my instagram telling me there's some very grumpy people in the ballet world online.

Here's the way I see the shoes.

You can have your proper like you're going on stage.

You're going to the Royal Academy for an exam way of tying your ribbons.

I don't teach you how to do it.

And then there's the half fun.

It's about fashion.

It's just a workout.

Let's relax way, which you obviously are the prep, But let's start by.

You want.

This is an elasticized drawstring, right, which is nice, so you could just tighten it, too.

The place that feels good.

Yeah, if you're going on stage, you would basically non it.

Cut it and tuck the ties inside.

If you want to leave that, I feel like I'm no in danger of going onstage anytime soon.

So this to me is more of the typical Alexa way.

But what you just did is good.

However, it is quite, It's a little bulky, so that bothers you.

Don't hesitate to not it.

Like I said and cut it off.

Okay, that looks great.

And then the ribbon, this is the real time.

This is how I look.

Number one, you have to start.

This starting is wrong because you need to be.

You have to flex your foot so that your angle is that it's, like, sort of thinkest.

Okay, because you gotta have a little bit of given the ribbon.

You don't want to go all the way tight, and this black thing is correct.

Is he one of flex now you don't.

Okay, now, you should.

You do this one on this one.

Go ahead.

Very cute.

I love it.

And it's gonna finish with floppy.

Go.

So she so beautiful.

All right, so for this, if you were doing the onstage, look started the interior ribbon.

Come around the ankle.

This is a hard decision.

Are we gonna tie it in the back?

Are we going to tie it here?

Type right on the inside, but it's quite law.

Let's do it in the backs of it's a little bit tighter.

Okay?

Hey, And bring the other women around.

You want us to be nice and clean.

Looks good, right?

Yeah, it looks better than that.

They're both nice.

They're just a little bit different.

And then it's a little bit tight, but I'm gonna tie it in the back.

Little baby.

Not used to get this out.

Tuck it, pull it out just a bit, because I want you to have a little bit again.

Exactly.

So it's not, you know, cutting off your circulation.

Tuck it under.

So you're hiding.

But not if you're going ch no stitch in and then you have to cut out after so your ribbons don't flop around, right?

This is one reason this is another reason why I'm no ballerina.

Know enough.

This'd is only for the professional setting, but it doesn't matter.

We're just exercise.

Okay, So today I thought we could show with everyone some kind of exercise routine where we focus on the things that I always wanted to work on.

Shark, which is a bum always for lifting bottom lifting derriere Delia Tom.

Yes.

On dhe sort of alms for your audience at home.

This is a workout that's inspired by ballet.

It's on actual ballet class.

Says that spell a beautiful This is that ballet beautiful is intense burn, but elegantly and under the guise of ballet.

But essentially, you worry beautiful outfits, but you're doing quite hard things, and you're gonna have a you know, like a super toned lady like physique at the end of this.

Okay, great.

All right.

So stretching way.

We always have.

As a dancer, you're always looking toe along a You want to lengthen, so if you think about so we'll just start really easy.

I mean, already, it's okay.

So just we're gonna step really easily.

You don't have to be with flexibility.

You just want to move through it.

It's gonna feel different every day this fall down.

That's great.

You don't have to be super technical.

The hips don't have to be square.

I really think that stretching should just feel good.

It's about just lengthening the body.

Yes, opening up the hip and the five.

This one's really nice.

We're doing that right.

You can come on her side.

Just leaving down.

Exactly.

That's right.

Short stretch.

Good.

Okay.

Shall we start without?

Yeah.

The other good thing about a beautiful is if you're hungover no two ways about it.

She does think about ballet.

Beautiful is if you're fatigued, you can do better.

Excised in that in between.

You could just sort of like, Well, say, I'm on that because that's sort of your sweet spot.

In ballet, you're always pulling your stomach endure, always engaging your core.

So it's just a given.

I want to start the workout with abs so that we get those muscles tight.

I just had quite a lot of her.
